What is your opinion on astral projection?

Asked by NerdyKeith (5489points) April 18th, 2016

A woman who claims she can have an outer body experience, was hooked up to electrodes to monitor her brain activity. Also a piece of paper was placed on a shelf out of her view while she was sleeping. She was able to see the number that was written on the piece of paper; on her fourth attempt of her out of body experience.

Could you offer an explanation to how that would be possible if she did not have an outer body experience?

People have all kinds of ways of pulling stunts like this.

Do you know who is capable of feats much more impressive than this?
Stage Magicians
And they do not need 4 attempts to do it.

Carlos Castaneda. It would be so cool if it was true! So would reincarnation. I really want reincarnation to be real.

My opinion on astral projection pretty much parallels my take on unicorns, leprechauns or the rapture.

It does not happen.

I think it would be so cool! I had a dream once, in college. I flew through the roof of the house I was staying in, and visited all the planets. I think that’s what astral projection would be like.

I would like reincarnation to be real too. Heck, even an afterlife would be cool…I think.

When people die it just hurts, you know, to know they’re just gone. No one is “looking down,” on you. They’re just gone. I’ll be just gone, and it makes me so sad. I’d rather believe I can look down on my kids and grandkids.
I don’t know what would happen in a few generations though. “Who the hell is that kid??!”
